Your problem is using CM only while solo queuing.


I don't thinking All Pick is worth playing

Most people playing cm are in stacks. Go find a stack

I can't imagine anything worse than playing CM pubs.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

Playing All Pick pubs. . .

You know you guys must be really antisocial because making quick friends and helping draft a winning team is some of what I enjoy most about playing DotA 2.

If this game weren't so beautiful in it's purest form, there is no way I would put up with Valve's not-quite-there-yet matchmaking system.

Having open lobbies like let's say every other game that has existed since 1998, would be a much more humane way of finding matches.

I have found that if you want semi-serious pub games, play random draft. Most people will try and pick good heroes and try to win. I find it to be by far the most serious pub mode.

Nope, CM mode will always be the most serious mode pub or no pub. You just have to get a good enough hidden MMR so you don't run into trolls anymore

No one is arguing, to each their own. But if you want to actually be good at DotA you have to play CM mode, there is a reason it's the mode played in every single serious competition.

I think a mode similar to HoN's banning pick could work really well with the matchmaking (in case of less than 5 player party), alternatively AP with 1 Ban per player, no turns, 1 minute time until it ends up as blank, then normal AP from there.

P.S. If you can spot the trolls during the drafting phase you don't actually have to play with them. That is another great way to keep your MMR and win rate moving in a positive direction.

What is with all these sounds they've added recently. Buyback is super loud, any time jakiro gets 2+ people in his ice path I get a weird sound. Why?!

I keep looking at the new Silencer and wondering if Valve is playing a joke on us.

Lmfao, playing CM pubs wont make you a better player outside of the amount your individual skill goes up, which would also go up in AP. Trying to play seriously with low level teams wont improve your understanding of the game much.

There's a reason players like scandal simply run through AP mode over and over with the same hero to improve his individual skill.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

The new silencer looks pretty good in my opinion unlike the beta client one. What's wrong with it?

Admittedly I haven't looked at it ingame yet, only seen it on CyborgMatt's blog so far.
